I like how the announcers said nothing as it clearly did a loop de loop then when it appeared to stabilize “and we’re back on track” Yeah that’s how rockets work.

In order to "figure this out and make it work", they'll have to start by Not loving Up the Easy Part. A lot of stuff went wrong this time, but in some ways that's actually way better than if only one or two things had gone wrong. Launch pad durability, engine reliability, the stage separation system; those are all things that can now be worked on in parallel, whereas if just one thing had lead to the loss of the vehicle they'd need to wait until the next launch to learn about all the other potential issues. This is pretty much exactly what you want out of a test. (Everything going perfectly would obviously be even better, but that would also be way too much to expect out of the first ever test of a first-of-its-kind launch system like this IMO.)

I didn’t realize that lots of things all being so poorly designed and manufactured that they all simultaneously failed was good, actually.

It's not too much to expect for a launchpad to have diversion tunneling because that exact problem showed up in heavy-lift rockets more than 50 years ago, and that exact problem was solved in the same way that SpaceX will now have to solve it. That's not even rocket science. It's been basic engineering in the field for decades.

next time they should build a rocket where nothing fails instead of lots of things. I’ll take my consulting check in normal dollars thanks.

Long term: Yes. Short term: hybrid approach. I think the launch mount is find as is. Seems to be in great shape from a structural standpoint. They will definitely need to come up with a solution not to completely blast away the concrete every attempt.

Lmao that they didn't build a water deluge system. On Spacex's stream, there was a bunch of debris flying up and to the sides when it launched. That probably killed a few of the engines. Later on you could also see one or two engines fail in flight. It's possible debris also damaged the gimballing system to the point where the rocket couldn't steer itself so it just tumbled wildly before they pulled the plug and blew it up.

If they float a fire truck using a high altitude weather balloon and put Tesla FSD into the SpaceX rocket it’ll fly in a direct path towards space instead of spinning out like that bing bong so simple
